   - The winner of the Nationals goes to Colorado Springs automaticaly 
   - The second representative team will be selected on the basis of the three competitions: qualifications 1, qualifications 2 and Nationals. The scores will be count together and the team who will have the best score will be selected. 

For the moment, scores are very close between the different teams. The battle will be tough.
